A Nod to Californian Surf Culture
Named after the beach vibe of Avalon (Santa Catalina Island), this model serves as the tenor big brother to Fender's popular Venice soprano. It retains the house aesthetic-cream binding, painted Strat headstock-while offering superior projection and tonal foundation typical of the tenor format.
Who Is This Ukulele For?
Perfect for beginners and intermediate players seeking an easy-to-play instrument with a fuller sound than a soprano or concert. It excels in strumming and fingerpicking across pop, folk, Hawaiian, reggae styles, or vocal accompaniment. The thin neck facilitates barre chords and smooth position shifts.
Sound Characteristics
The layered basswood delivers soft mids and rounded highs without harshness, while the fan bracing optimizes top responsiveness. The 17" / 432 mm scale length slightly increases string tension for precise attack and natural sustain. The satin finish allows the body to vibrate freely, and the walnut fingerboard ensures clear articulation across the neck.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Consider a tenor ukulele string set (GCEA tuning) in nylon or fluorocarbon, a tenor-sized gig bag or case for protection on the go, as well as a clip-on tuner compatible with all ukulele headstocks.
